Wildlife Forensics de Jane E Huffman

Wildlife Forensics: Developments in Forensic Science

Autor Jane E Huffman, John R Wallace
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 dec 2011

Deși literatura de specialitate acoperă pe larg criminalistica aplicată omului, domeniul infracțiunilor împotriva faunei sălbatice a suferit mult timp de o fragmentare a resurselor educaționale. Considerăm că Wildlife Forensics, semnat de Jane E Huffman și John R Wallace, vine să umple exact această lacună, oferind o sinteză metodologică necesară într-o eră a creșterii infracționalității ecologice. Volumul nu se limitează la teorie, ci propune un parcurs aplicat, integrând discipline care, de regulă, sunt tratate separat: de la entomologie și toxicologie, până la analiza urmelor biologice vegetale.

Remarcăm structura riguroasă a cărții, care ghidează cititorul prin întreg lanțul de custodie al probelor. Un element distinctiv îl reprezintă includerea casetelor de metodologie, care explică pas cu pas tehnici specifice, făcând textul extrem de accesibil pentru studenții de la masterat în științe criminalistice sau biologie de conservare. Autorii reușesc să echilibreze rigoarea academică a editurii Wiley cu necesitățile practice ale agenților de teren. Această lucrare extinde cadrul propus de Wildlife Forensic Investigation de John E. Cooper cu date noi din sfera geneticii moleculare și a patologiei veterinare, punând un accent mai mare pe aplicațiile procedurale în sala de judecată. În timp ce alte titluri se concentrează strict pe necropsie, lucrarea de față oferă o viziune de ansamblu, incluzând dovezi de tip „bitemark” și expertiză botanică, elemente esențiale pentru o investigație completă în cadrul seriei Developments in Forensic Science.

Public țintă

Primary Market:
 Advanced undergraduates/Masters level students in the forensic sciences and researchers wanting an introduction to the specialist area of wildlife forensics. This book will also be an invaluable reference to students taking relevant courses within conservation biology and wildlife conservation. Federal and State Fish and Wildlife Agencies. Professional Forensic Practitioners. Secondary Market:
 Interested individuals within the forensic science community, law enforcement officers, molecular genetic researchers for aiding in wildlife management and conservation. May also be an invaluable reference to those students taking relevant modules within Conservation Biology courses.
This relatively new subject area can be taught as part of environmental forensics courses, forensic biology and forensic genetics courses particularly at Masters level. Relevant courses may also be taught within conservation biology/ecology/zoology degree programmes. Courses taught not only in UK but worldwide. Also relevant to the growing number of organizations who are involved in the detection and prosecution of wildlife crime.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte oricărui specialist implicat în protecția mediului sau student la criminalistică. Este un instrument practic care transformă biologia teoretică în probe judiciare solide. Veți câștiga o înțelegere clară a modului în care analiza ADN și toxicologia pot fi folosite pentru a combate braconajul și traficul ilegal de specii, beneficiind de studii de caz reale care ilustrează succesul acestor tehnici în instanță.

Despre autor

Jane E Huffman și John R Wallace sunt experți recunoscuți în domeniul științelor criminalistice aplicate mediului. Jane E. Huffman a fost o figură centrală în cercetarea bolilor faunei sălbatice și a metodelor de identificare morfologică, având o carieră dedicată integrării biologiei în sistemul de justiție. John R. Wallace este specialist în entomologie criminalistică, contribuind cu expertiza sa tehnică la dezvoltarea protocoalelor de colectare a probelor de la locul crimei. Împreună, aceștia au creat un text de referință care îmbină experiența de laborator cu rigorile legii faunei sălbatice.

Descriere scurtă

Wildlife Forensics: Methods and Applications provides an accessible and practical approach to the key areas involved in this developing subject. The book contains case studies throughout the text that take the reader from the field, to the lab analysis to the court room, giving a complete insight into the path of forensic evidence and demonstrating how current techniques can be applied to wildlife forensics. The book contains approaches that wildlife forensic investigators and laboratory technicians can employ in investigations and provides the direction and practical advice required by legal and police professionals seeking to gain the evidence needed to prosecute wildlife crimes. The book will bring together in one text various aspects of wildlife forensics, including statistics, toxicology, pathology, entomology, morphological identification, and DNA analysis. This book will be an invaluable reference and will provide investigators, laboratory technicians and students in forensic Science/conservation biology classes with practical guidance and best methods for criminal investigations applied to wildlife crime. * Includes practical techniques that wildlife forensic investigators and laboratory technicians can employ in investigations. * Includes case studies to illustrate various key methods and applications. * Brings together diverse areas of forensic science and demonstrates their application specifically to the field of wildlife crime. * Contains methodology boxes to lead readers through the processes of individual techniques. * Takes an applied approach to the subject to appeal to both students of the subject and practitioners in the field. * Includes a broad introduction to what is meant by 'wildlife crime', how to approach a crime scene and collect evidence and includes chapters dedicated to the key techniques utilized in wildlife investigations. * Includes chapters on wildlife forensic pathology; zooanthropological techniques; biological trace evidence analysis; the importance of bitemark evidence; plant and wildlife forensics; best practices and law enforcement.

She runs wildlife DNA forensic training courses for conservation officers from New Jersey and Pennsylvania. She, along with her students, has undertaken a wide range of applied research projects including the development of DNA profiling systems for game species in PA and NJ and microscopic hair characterization. The laboratory provides species identification tests for illegally sold wild meat. She provides forensic analysis and expert witness testimony in PA wildlife crime prosecutions. Dr. Huffman is also the graduate student coordinator for the Department of Biological Sciences at East Stroudsburg University. Dr. John R. Wallace, Ph.D., D-ABFE, F-AAFS, is one of 15 board-certified forensic entomologists and a diplomate of the American Board of Forensic Entomology. Dr. Wallace is a Professor of Biology and focuses on teaching courses in Entomology, Aquatic Biology, Aquatic Entomology, Forensic Entomology, Forensic Science, and Ecology and Evolution. His research interests cover topics such as mosquito and disease ecology as well as mosquito and blackfly surveillance, and the role of aquatic organisms such as insects, algae and crayfish on decomposition within forensic science. As a forensic entomologist, Dr. Wallace has participated in criminal investigations all over the country since 1995. He has taught forensic entomology courses at the University level and workshops at various universities to law enforcement throughout the United States, published more than 45 articles or book chapters in National/International journals.
